You read that correctly. Chris Paul actually kicked Stephen Curry off the court.
It was the night before Game 6 and the Golden State Warriors needed badly to get some shots up and improve without Kevin Durant playing in the game.
Marcus Thompson of The Athletic has the details:
“On the eve of Friday’s Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals, (Steph) Curry wanted to get some shots up at the Toyota Center. The Warriors do-it-all manager Eric Housen booked the court, from 7 to 8 p.m., so Curry could work on his shot.
Somehow, Rockets guard Chris Paul got wind. He decided to go to the Toyota Center to get shots up, nixing Curry’s reservations. The Warriors’ point guard offered to stick to half a court but Paul wasn’t having it. Curry was kicked off the Toyota Center court.”
Following the 118-113 victory, Curry yelled “Kick me off the court again, boy!” as he celebrated the Game 6 victory with Draymond Green just outside the Warriors’ locker room:
In a losing effort, Chris Paul recorded 27 points on 11-of-19 shooting, with 11 rebounds and six assists.
